Curious.  Seems like a bug in the D2XX library ... there's
no reason that a FT_GetLibraryVersion() call should fail
if the driver isn't installed.  A failure should only show
up when trying to open a device that's not there

Patches accepted; a new message would be easy.

I suspect the reason for the "run" step is likely because
folk ran into installation problems which that prevents.
It'd be important to know why it's there before removing it.

Those checks seem to have been added by this patch:

    Build Permutations with ftd2xx and libftdi addressed.
    Also added a new se of regression makefiles to build
    openocd in multiple ways

Which was svn1275, predating the 0.1.0 release.
